A special screening of the Robert Kenner’s documentary Food, Inc. will be shown. The film combines interviews with people working in the multi-billion-dollar agribusiness sector with footage of food production to reveal how a few massive corporations control virtually every aspect of the food industry.
After the screening a panel discussion will take place with participants Peter Pringle, author of Food, Inc.: Mendel to Monsanto—The Promises and Perils of the Biotech Harvest; Bryan Walsh, staff writer at Time magazine; and Marion Nestle, Professor, Department of Nutrition and Food Studies at New York University, and author of Food Politics and What to Eat. Moderated by Jill Richardson, food activist and author, Recipe for America: Why Our Food System is Broken and How to Fix It.
Presented by the Center for Communication and the Departments of Food Studies and Media Studies and Film at The New School.
